Sodium acetate
Sodium acetate is indeed the recommended name according to the IUPAC. Your edit made it seem that it was interchangeable with sodium ethanoate. While it *is* actually synonymous, the preferred term is acetate and the article should reflect this.

This page has a long history of perhaps well-intentioned people who try to "correct" everything to ethanoate, because that's what they learn in school. I'm sorry if I was quick to revert but I stand by my points. --Rifleman 82 23:45, 19 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I have restored the spelling of flavour as this remains an acceptable use of English in Wikipedia. The use of internationally acceptable chemical nomenclature (as in Sulfuric) does not justify a wholesale move to American English from Commonwealth English. Velela 12:06, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
